Performance and age of the fastest female and male 100-km ultra-marathoners worldwide from 1960 to 2012 After analyzing the fastest 100 miles of runners in the world, we went to the question of whether differences in the 100 kilometers runs.We examined the maturities of 148'017 finishers from the period from 1960 to 2012. As expected, the top runners were over the years faster and the difference between the fastest men and the fastest women took over the years.The age of the fastest men rose from 25 to 40 years while the fastest women over the years remained constant at 35 years.
If you take the 10 fastest runners per year, the age of the top ten runners over all the years remains unchanged at 34 years, regardless of gender. The details about this study can be found under https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24476771/
